What this record means
The record shows that “TEAM NINJA WARRIOR” is a live Principal Register service mark owned by Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc., a corporation organized in Japan, and it has been registered since October 9 2018. The registration covers “providing information in the field of entertainment via a global computer network; entertainment services, namely, an on‑going television series broadcast over television and the Internet featuring competition‑based programming and companion programming with actual and/or fictional characters involved in comedic, dramatic, documental and animated stories” (International Class 041). A similar name used for entertainment‑related TV or streaming content would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that scope are farther from the listed coverage. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “team,” “ninja,” or “warrior.” The latest meaningful event is the acceptance of the combined Section 8 (six‑year renewal) and Section 15 (ownership) declaration on February 14 2025, and no enforcement actions appear in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable entertainment‑service brand.
